Abstract

The migration of existing applications to service-oriented paradigm generate services with variegate behaviours and way of interacting with one another. In some cases, available technologies for demarcating services do not provide suited constructs to codify such interactions. As an example, migrating wireless network planning codes towards a service-oriented environment generates a sort of “nested” services, which cannot be codified with available constructs provided by OWL-S. In this paper, we propose an extension of both the OWL-S ontology and the OWL-S API which enables the description of such services. The validity of such an extension has been demonstrated on a real life application in the area of wireless network planning.
